and for us, mr. president, the taxpayers, it creates jobs, helps our manufacturing base, and helps the taxpayers in effect loan money though these two manufacturers. and this will help repay that money. it's really been stimulative, and we all recognize that. that having been said, there are some people who still don't like the program. we have to figure a way to move through that. it's my understanding the democrats have one amendment. i've explained what the amendment is to the republicans. the republicans have a long list of amendments that they're going to have to whittle down to a reasonable number so that we can deal with them real soon. i hope that we can work something out so that we can meet our responsibilities. we also have a number of nominations that have been held up as a result of the supreme court nomination. we hope all that can be taken care of as soon as she's confirmed. mr. president, i am told s. 1572 is due for a second reading and the legislation is now at the desk. the presidi

it will allow us to have a much better use of energy and a much better use of transportation friday. so both the electric grid and the transportation grid need to become smart systems. i personally am very much in favor of looking at magnetic levitation trains. if you look at what the chinese are doing, i think it's very sobering that you can now go to shanghai and take a 250 miles an hour train and virtually all of the very, very high speed trains in the world are being built in china. and pudong in and of itself is a very sober place because 20 years ago there was almost nothing there and today the gross domestic product of pudong alone is $38 billion. and so you have -- just an enormous explosion of economic activity. spain now has a train that goes from madrid to sevilla at 186 miles an hour. the french have the tgv which is a very fast train that crosses most of france. japan has the bullet train. there are other projects -- i think that we have to fundamentally rethink our entire approach to rail, but i am opposed to simply giving money to an amtrak bureaucracy on behalf of hig

these are being used for buying buses. my county, we didn't get a lot of money but we are ordering buses that we would have been ordering. they are employing people. the fact that they have a long-term payoff is a good thing. my overall argument on the stimulus is consistent with what you are hearing on the other side of the dias which is i already for counter-cyclical revenue sharing that is indexed to the economy so it is a permit so when the economy goes up, it goes away. i think that is the right way to do it from an economic standpoint but it is true that the country has a huge deficit in infrastructure investment. in the short run, the most importuning to do is end the recession and get the economy back to potential ddp. that is what will close the gap in the short run. in the long run it is the productivity of the economy and i would argue our economy has suffered because most of the thing we have been rolling up deficits in the past eight years that we have not been worried about is not invested in our economy and

and they used to be wrong. following the suggestion, the model should be constructed and the proven force. i have seen in the way economics is taught in the united states, there is an abuse of mathematics and an abuse of models. many students in the economic department in the united states think that economics is only about mathematical models, and this is absolutely wrong. the mathematical model is only one of the instruments that can be used to understand the facts and the facts going around in to make some predictions in certain cases. there is a lack of common sense in education. maybe this answers your question about what has changed and what should change. i am very worried by the fact that only, mathematics now is a requirement and also that the history of economic ideas is not talk any more. i think this is a big loss and it reduces the scope and the knowledge of students in the economic departments. >> marshall jaffe, and i'm an investment adviser. i was intrigued by your definition for your yardstick
